Many thanks
Good luck.
Can you help me with my last one please.
No.82 200 square miles of hilly parkland in West Nottinghamshire
Thank you
Is there a letter count or order?
Unsure whether this may fit the bill - 234 square miles are mentioned.

bluebell56: I have seen this clue previously, and I wonder if the figure of 200 square miles could be incorrect. 200 square miles equals 128000 acres, which is a very large area of land. Cotgrave Country Park covers 200 acres; could that be what the setter meant?
I first went to Country Parks, Cotgrave doesn't look hilly at all.
The Dukeries ?
Interesting shout Kettledrum.
Well … it’s (they are?) in the west of the county, it’s parkland, bits are hilly, but I can’t find any mention of the area it covers.
Thank you for all your suggestions. I will look into them and decide which to use.
from 1906: "THE district known as the "Dukeries," begins about twenty miles north of Nottingham, and extends about ten miles in the Worksop direction, its average width being about five miles. "

Unless it's been extended since, it sounds a bit small.
